Attorney ells Of Bribe Try Boy Oil Firm WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (in—A lust-resigned U.S. attorney testi fied today oil company lawyer John M. Neff tried to hire him to lobby for the natural gas bill and then attempted to give him $5OO for his children. Testifying through tears at times, the former Lexington, Neb. official, Donald R. Ross, said Neff made these overtures—and he re jected them—after he arranged meetings between Neff and Ne braska's Republican Sens. Curtis and Hruska. Ross was the first witness as a special Senate committee unex pectedly reopened and broadened an inquiry into a $2,500 campaign contribution offered by Neff to Sen. Francis Case (R-SD) but re jected by the senator. Several other inquiries—one by a federal grand jury—are under way with the prospect some may go into the whole field of lobby ing and campaign contributions. The lobbying question was a fac tor in President Eisenhower's veto of the gas bill.

Then note our left display case iln front of the studio and perhaps you'll understand the necessity of this trip. With apologies to the Thetas, who we hope have a good sense of humor, the sight you'll see was done without their knowledge. Admittedly, we did encourage some of the ex pression never realizing they'd be so devastating. Nor did they know these expressions were being photographed. This surreptitious project was perpetrated while the girls were being photographed for their regular composite which will be on display at the same time in the window of the Treasure House, next to our studio. In any case, I believe you'll find, when you see the regular composite, that the Thetas possess many of the best looking girls on campus. In any case, the line for potential harpooner's assistants forms outside the Skellar tonight at six, or does anyone have any bodyguard experience? • The Little Girl Above?
